Valella, slightly outside the city center of Seville, offers some serious bang for your buck food that is hard to beat, especially if you are on a budget. The menu consists of homemade Andalusian classics made with care. If you are in the area, and especially if you arent looking to break the bank eating out, head on over.

Spanish gastronomy derives from a very complex history and the influence of many cultures, but also a very diverse landscape. There are very large differences from region to region and despite Spanish gastronomy is meant to be “Mediterranean”, local dishes are to be found in each region or province. There are some very famous “national dishes” like paella or fideua from Valencia, cocido from Madrid, Gazpacho from Andalusia, Pan amb tomato from Catalonia, pintos from Basque country, octopus from Galicia and the list goes on and on… A restaurant offering traditional Spanish gastronomy may opt in its menu to offer a selection of some of these dishes.
There are no specific dishes that we can say are typically "sevillanos". But being the capital of Andalusia, Seville is a melting point for all good local andalusian dishes. Soldaditos de Pavia (strips of battered cod), gazpacho, cazon en adobon (marinated fried fish) and others can be found at most bars
There is no precise rule as to how much to tip in Spain. Spaniards only tip if they consider the service to be good. A 5% is normally considered a good tip. Having said this, some local waiters know tourists tip more than local Spaniards do and may expect more from foreigners.
